The Future of Alt-Jpop: Never Get a Real Job and "how much do I charge for a beat"


"The Music Speaks for Itself"-DJ Melania 666
Music has a lot value regardless of what people who have real jobs say. Who the fuck needs a Mechanical Engineer? Who needs a Teacher? As a matter of fact, most people hate their teachers. People love Young Thug, Murda Beatz, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Dua Lipa and Beethoven. Without Music, where would we be? If your parents got married, there is a high probability somebody played the Piano in the Wedding Ceremony. If there is no music, there is no love. Implying to get a real job is to not believe in love, to not believe in any kind of love, and a world without love is a world without justice.

In the times of 5 dollar beat leasing, the life of a musician is becoming increasingly tough but at the same time I see this as a blessing. I've been trying to get artists involved for 1898 and Alt-Jpop but it hasn't been very successful. Singers either ignore you, language barrier impedes communication or simply find it too difficult to sing on. I've decided to take it easy in trying to search for a singer for the Alt-Jpop project and try to sell beats to non-Jpop entities. So a new question arises... How much do I charge for a beat? It depends. Some people suggest to aim low in order to attract consumers, I decide to go on another route. I will charge 350 dollars for a beat. I would give them for free because I secretly think music has no price, I'm not one of those ridiculous entrepreneurs, who puts money first and are way more broke than me. I'm not obsessed with money, I'm ok, I don't live under a bridge but I do live with my parents and I owe a lot of money because of student loans so I will eventually have to develop a plan. Some people suggest to get a real job, this is not my philosophy, people that give up on their purpose or duty to be a wannabe proletarian daddy is actually very beta and a cuck. Daddies are cucks.

Lately, I've been reflecting about the future of Alt-Jpop. Is the future of Alt-Jpop, Jpop? I've been trying to explore new ideas and applying them to my music. I'm constantly reinventing myself as producer, as dogmatic as I may appear and sound. I'm constantly becoming more technical as a producer since day 1 but for me the most important thing is style. Everybody who knows me is well aware that I'm one those artists who can be described as Art-House, a prototype of Deconstructed Club, Real Deal High IQ Noise, "Avant", I don't say this to sound pretentious, but it's actually a fact, many people see it like that, regardless if it is 1% of my influence, it's still a 1%. I have an indirect "Avant" background and you can notice this in many aspects of Alt-Jpop even if it's Jpop or EDM. This 1% has given me a certain attitude when confronting music, ok, OK, I'm going to stop the BS now, I'm veryyy dogmatic!!!! *Sips Kool-Aid* My Real Estate Professor once told me that sometimes you have to sip on the Kool-Aid aka sip on the Ego. I'm not a narcissistic person but I think that I'm not you ordinary producer! I'm not some 17 year old Enfant Terrible making beatz with cracked Omnisphere in FL Studio or your ordinary Future Bass Jpop producer! If you ever get Alt-Jpop on your team, consider yourself blessed. Alt-Jpop and 1898 have a lot to offer, things that strive beyond the musical or the "Avant". The music speaks for itself. Sip on the Kool-Aid and keep making great beatz. Strive for the best.

The Meaning of "Hyper": What do I think of Deconstructed Club? Deconstructed Club inspired 1898?

Arca preparing for a bullfight "I think my sounds are more sample-oriented. Even the synths that I like a lot are more sample-based. It's almost like with digital graphics: it's raster vs. vector. I'm more raster when it comes to sound."-M.E.S.H. Deconstructed Club, we all know what this is right? Some people hate it, Kode 9 bashed it by calling it self-indulgent in the dancefloor, everybody hates it basically. I personally don't hate it. How can I hate Deconstructed Club when Alt-Jpop and DJ Melania 666 have some vestiges of Deconstructed Club. I don't know where the name comes from, at first I found the term Deconstructed Club pretty retarded (I still find it quite retarded) but at the end of the day I simply don't take the term literally. Deconstructed Club is very vast scene, from Staycore to NAAFI to PAN and recently Posh Isolation and Kai Whiston. How did all this started? Kode9 influenced dancefloor Some people say it started wit...

Alt-Jpop's Theory of Jpop I: America, Italy, Baguette and a lot of Nori

Image
Whether you write it or not, think it or not, feel it or not, sleep on it or not, we all have a theory of something, whether the Earth is flat, whether History is Dead***,  or if THE SHARING ECONOMY IS A REALLY BIG SCAM AND WILL LEAD US TO A LOT OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY!!! None of the theories mentioned above aren't of my interest, the Earth is not flat, History is not Dead and Sharing Economy is not a scam.  Sometimes in order to have a proper theory one has to grab a handful of Blueberries, high in antiOX, let the blood in the brain flow, inciting you think and wonder why the Earth is flat, why F'MAN instead of Foodman , why play Super Monkey Ball in the stuttering flat Earth. 5 Japanese Female Monkeys, 4 mute and one that sings. Start rotating in Mode7 fashion, like lil rodents inside a sphere. The stuttering Mode7 plane fka "The Flat Earth" becomes slightly  transversal , the 4 mute Japanese monkeys fall into the void and reach America while Namie Amuro gets ship...

"Reinventing reinvention" Conversation with DJ Melania 666

Image
DJ Melania 666 is prominent but obscure figure in the Accelerationist Electronic Scene, some people consider her the purest form of Accelerationism in Beatz. She digresses nonetheless. Melany is from Manila.  Alt-Jpop: DJ Melania what is the future of beatz? Melany: The future of beatz is that there is no future of beatz. Alt-Jpop: So you say everything has been done. Melany: Everything has been done. Alt-Jpop: I remember that Sega Bodega once said that there are still things to do in music. Melany: This guy Sega Dreamcast Bodegón is completely delusional. Alt-Jpop: If there is nothing new why make beatz? Melany: I ask myself that question everyday. I feel beatz are made for you to make and not forget. Beatz help you remember. Beatz are a lil bit neurotic. I once thought I could eliminate neurosis in beatmaking, but I guess I was wrong. The worst thing about the human condition is that one never cures neurosis. We have a lot of imagination. So here I adopt a Juda...
